The Crusaders were Christians, many of them devout Christians. They were also sinners, to such an extent that some modern Christians would deny that they were really Christians at all. The original motivation for the Crusades was to recover the Holy Land from Islamic domination. However, the Crusades also became a great adventure and an opportunity for looting, murder, rape and other excesses. Some Crusaders were not particular about limiting their crimes to just the Muslims - Jews and Eastern Orthodox Christians were often easier targets.
